Agentic Music Post-Production

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces MixAgent, an agentic pipeline for music post‑production that emulates audio engineers’ workflow to create interpretable and editable mixing plans guided by a reference song. It employs a grouping agent to cluster related tracks, a planning agent to select and order audio effects, and a detector‑critic pair to refine the mix by identifying needed corrections and proposing parameter adjustments. The authors also present MixCritic, a dataset of 45,657 repair critiques, and demonstrate that supervised fine‑tuning followed by preference optimization improves mix quality, achieving a 19% error reduction on MedleyDB and outperforming several large language models in human listening tests.

MixJudge: Learning a Language-Queryable Critic for Vocal Mixing

MixJudge is a language‑queryable audio critic trained on a curriculum of 11 vocal‑mix issues across multiple severity levels. It can retrieve specific mixing problems, differentiate opposite issues, and rank their severity. When presented with processing options, MixJudge tends to select versions acoustically closer to a held‑out professional mix, showing that explicit mixing judgment can aid downstream mixing decisions.
